This one isn&#8217;t great, because of the shadow across part of the bird&#8217;s head, but it&#8217;s still pretty good, I guess. I think this is a red-shouldered hawk (<em>Buteo lineatus<\/em>) and Merlin agrees with me, although I&#8217;m not certain about the identification and if anyone seeing this knows better, let me know. It could be a broad-winged hawk (<em>Buteo platypterus<\/em>), as well. According to Audubon, neither is common in our area.<\/p>\n<p>We enjoy seeing animals in our yard and of course it&#8217;s those animals that attract birds of prey.
